Author Talk: ‘The Silver Tea Service’ – Judy Campbell

Hear Judy take us through the discovery she made on an old family relic and the resulting deep dive into her family history. The result – her memoir The Silver Tea Service.
About the book
Eight years after the death of her mother, Judy reviews her family relics, including the antique tea service that belonged to her mother’s grandfather. Should she just sell the damn thing and buy new lounge furniture? It’s tempting.
But she stops to read the inscription etched into the solid silver tray. It honours this man around whom hangs a century-old mystery. She embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind the story of grandeur and ruin her mother had promised, but never wrote.
The author’s relentless research in dusty archives and neglected cemeteries across South Africa unravels an unexpected family history.
